Drip vs Drop: What’s the Difference?

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between drip and drop? These two words can be confusing, especially for English learners. Luckily, this video makes it simple!

In the video, Mia says the coffee is still “dropping,” but Daniel corrects her—“dripping” is the correct word. That’s when our friendly teacher Luke steps in to explain.

A drop is a single small amount of liquid. Imagine one raindrop or one drop of water from a faucet. Just one!

A drip is the action—when a liquid slowly falls drop by drop. So if your faucet is leaking, it’s dripping water.

This short lesson uses humor and clear visuals to help learners remember the difference between drip and drop. It’s a great vocabulary booster and perfect for visual learners.

Practice using both words in your daily life, and you’ll never mix them up again! Watch the video now and level up your English!
